Guestroom Reservations

Guest room rates at Grande Lakes Orlando have not increased since 2011. 

JW Marriott: $325.00/night++

Ritz-Carlton: $367.00/night++

ACI Convention registrants who reserve guestrooms at the Grande Lakes will receive complimentary high speed internet access in guestrooms, the lobby, Starbucks and pool area. In addition, you will receive complimentary access to the fitness center and the resort fee will be waived.

Reserve your Grande Lakes Orlando guestroom immediately upon completion of payment.

Guestroom Cancellation Policy

  • - There are no penalties for room cancellations made prior to December 2, 2023.
  • - Reservations secured on or before December 2, 2022 will be eligible for a 5 percent room rebate.
  • - In order to receive the 5 percent room rebate, a two-night non-refundable deposit will be processed by the hotel. Rebates will appear on your room folio upon check-out.
  • - Any individuals with reservations but opting not to participate in the 5 percent room rebate or that are booked after December 2, 2022 will be assessed a two-night cancellation penalty if reservation is cancelled within five days prior to arrival.
Reminders
  • - Guestrooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reserve your guestroom following your online registration as guestrooms sell out quickly.
  • - Grande Lakes will do everything possible to accommodate early check-ins, but these requests cannot always be accommodated. If you require an early check-in, consider reserving your guestroom beginning the day prior and letting the hotel know that you will be a very late arrival. This will help guarantee that a room is available.
  • - Check-in is at 4:00 p.m. If you arrive early and request an earlier check-in, you may be given a room that does not match your preferences (i.e. a high floor, etc.).

During the ACI Convention, we ask that all attendees and ACI Members use the guestrooms and meeting space in the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton. ACI has worked hard to ensure our members' needs can be met at Grande Lakes. We have been able to do this because of our strong guestroom usage and subgroup meeting spending. Because of these factors, we are able to offer benefits to all attendees such as free internet, the same guestroom price since 2011, a 10 percent food and beverage discount for subgroup meetings, the opportunity for a 5 percent room rebate, and the meeting space needed for business-to-business (B2B) meetings.

Dining on Property
Grande Lakes Orlando has 14 food outlets that are open at various times throughout the day. Follow the links below to view dining options and hours.

Staying on Property and Lakeshore Reserve

Although the Lakeshore Reserve is next to the Grande Lakes, ACI does not receive credit for the business conducted there. The Lakeshore Reserve is owned and operated by an independent company (though affiliated with Marriott). Please keep in mind: If you choose to utilize Lakeshore Reserve for meeting space or guest rooms, you are hindering ACI's ability to meet our needed usage of guest rooms at Grande Lakes as well as our members' needs for Convention meeting space.
